aircon

mark bodsworth · Post by **mark bodsworth** » 14 Aug 2004, 01:27

Hi all
I am in the process of striping an aircon system out of an identical xm to mine. The bonnet area was simple enough to remove and should be the same to put back, the problem is the electrics. I am going from an auto electric 3 dial type to a digital climate control type. Would there be provision for this within the present wiring loom or am I going to have to remove all this as well? the car is a se2 2.o ct turbo .
cheers mark

Pull the whole loom. The likelihood is that there will be substantial differences as those of us who have done conversions will testify. Ideally, you should get the wiring diagrams of both cars. If there is a fair degree of difference, I'll probably be able to fathom it out for you if I have sight of the diagrams.

don't forget to get any motors that control the ducting and flaps,there won't be any control cables from the dash with the digital controls.

and dont forget the solar temperature sensor under the bulge right up near the windscreen in the centre of the dash, and the other interior sensor in the headlining that has a little motor that blows cabin air over it, the aircon needs both of these to work correctly
Not sure if you need the other temperature sensor for the aircon that is in the nearside wingmirror ?

cheers for replies
Aniother question, the heater matrix and attached units are the principally the same for ac and non ac modals? In other words will i get away with just fitting the motor units to my present setup for the recirc etc or will i have to swap the whole system ( matrix, blower , blower housing, box behind the matrix).

Erm.... not if it's anything like the BX - but have a look at the parts lists.
